Using the data set from T-240 to T+962 sec from recent telemetry downlinks,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 080804 (trigger #319016)
(Racusin, et al., GCN Circ. 8057). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 328.675, -53.189 deg which is
RA(J2000) = 21h 54m 41.9s
Dec(J2000) = -53d 11' 20.2"
with an uncertainty of 1.2 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 19%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows the main peak starting at ~T-10sec,
peaking at ~T+2 sec, and ending at ~T+100 sec. T90 (15-350 keV) is
34 +- 16 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-0.4 to T+62.8 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.19 +- 0.09. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 3.6 +- 0.2 x 10^-6 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+1.57 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 3.1 +- 0.4 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
